Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews report very poor cleanliness: dirty/unclean bed sheets, dirt under sheets, dirty mattresses and reports of no cleaning for up to a week.
Service
10
Consistently praised staff and named individuals (Ramin, Diyar, Lutfullah) described as extremely kind, helpful and welcoming; a few mentions of distant staff but overall service is a strong positive.
Location
10
Frequently highlighted as excellent and very central (near Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, tram/train); main drawback noted is noise from trams due to proximity to transport.
Room Quality
4.5
Several complaints about room condition: broken beds, lack of blanket, small rooms, old/worn equipment and poor maintenance leading to discomfort.
Amenities
9
Amenities are available and in many reports satisfactory (buffet breakfast reported as ample by some, good location-related conveniences); there are isolated issues (AC not working) but overall amenities are useful for location and stay.

8.5
Breakfast received mixed feedback: several guests praised a plentiful buffet and variety, while others said options were reduced compared to advertised; overall leans positive but inconsistent.
Overall Experience
7
Overall a mixed experience: exceptional service and prime location versus poor cleanliness and room maintenance resulted in a moderately positive but tempered stay.

Pros:

Nichts !

Cons:

Wir sind nachts angekommen und haben bereits am nächsten Morgen ausgecheckt, weil das Zimmer stark von den Bildern abwich und auf uns unhygienisch wirkte. Wir sahen Käfer und Flecken an den Wänden; auch die Betten und die Deckenlampe waren nicht sauber. Die Klimaanlage tropfte, und die Schränke waren durch das Wasser beschädigt.
Hinzu kam ein starker Toilettengeruch. Er kam aus dem Lüftungsschacht im Bad und zog selbst bei geschlossener Badezimmertür ins Zimmer.
Der Betreiber hat die Buchung zwar über Booking.com storniert, uns aber trotzdem drei Nächte berechnet, obwohl wir nur eine Nacht dort waren. Das war für uns eine sehr enttäuschende Erfahrung.

Poor due to broken aircon
Pros:

The location is really good. Walking distance to all the major attractions. Also a tram stop right outside the hotel.

Cons:

The air conditioning was not working. They mentioned that it will be fixed the next day or change the room. Neither was done. We had to leave the hotel to another at the end. Poor communication and commitment.

Pros:

C'est la première fois que je mets un commentaires négatif. Ce n'est pas un hôtel c'est plutôt pire qu'un dortoir.
J'ai déjà signalé cela à booking et le personnel de l'hôtel sont au courant également
J'avais réservé pour 3 nuits avec ma famille car d'après les photos de l'hôtel mentionnés sur le site de booking, l'hôtel me paraissait pas mal, voir correct.
Malheureusement, ce n'est pas du tout le cas : j'ai pris des vidéos et des photos
- les matelas avec des tâches d'urines
- 2 lits qui sont cassés
- de la saletés dans la salle de bain
- l'hôtel a côté du passage du tramway toute les 10mn avec aucune isolation, donc impossible de dormir
- l'odeur de la cigarette au sein de l'hôtel
-...etc
J'ai pu annulé les 2 autres nuits en prenant un autre vrai hôtel qui est 1000 fois mieux que ce dortoir
Encore une fois, la propreté n'est pas un luxe mais une obligation
Comment un hôtel peut proposer ce type de chambre sans rien vérifier ?
Comment booking ce contente des commentaires sans vérifier la réalités des choses. Bref
Je vais m'arrêter de parler de cet hôtel .

Cons:

Voir commentaires ci-dessus. Encore une fois, j'ai pris plusieurs photos et vidéos qui prouvent et montrent l'état inacceptables de cet hôtel

Je ne peux pas mettre les vidéos car elles sont volumineuses mais j'ai mis qcq photos

Un concediu ratat
Pros:

Nimic sincer . Un concediu ratat din pacate

Cons:

Absolut nimic .in primul rand pozele expuse nu sunt reale cu ceea ce gasesti dupa ce deschizi usa camerei . Mizerie in camera mai ales la baie unde era igrasie si mucegai pe pereti ventilatorul din baie nu functiona in zona de cabina de dus incredibil de neigienic . In dormitor gauri in pereti de unde noaptea se auzeau zgomote peretii foarte murdari si cojiti ,mini frigiderul introdus in interiorul unui sifonier de unde emana un miros foarte puternic de incins am incercat sa in scoatem din priza insa priza se afla in spatele sifonierului , televizorul era crapat pe ecran . Am avut un incident f neplacut ce ne-a panicat extrem de tare tinand cont ca am fost cu copiii cazati si anume in prima noapte dupa miezul noptii din panoul electric aflat in camera se auzeau niste zgomote f puternice si aparatele electrice din camera fluctuau se aprindeau se stingeau am incercat sa ies pe holul etajului unde lumina la fel fluctua inclusiv liftul facea un zgomot puternic a durat destul acest moment continuand si a doua zi cu lipsa electricitatii unde nu am putut incarca telefoanele mobile de care aveam nevoie mai ales fiind intr.o tara straina . Dupa prima seara cand am coborat la receptie nu ni se comunica nimic daca noi nu mergeam la ei sa ii intrebam despre lipsa curentului , am incercat sa cautam alta cazare in zona insa nu am gasit nimic disponibil fiind nevoiti din pacate sa ramanem cazati acolo . Nu recomand absolut deloc acest hotel .
